EVENT HISTORY: The Mother Hen Cruise began as a joint effort organized by J.P. and Betty Petolas (power boaters) and Ted Bowser (sail boater) and took the form of a combination cruise and sailboat race. The powerboaters offered to transport supplies so that the sailboats, some small in stature, could race up to Carillon Island . The trip upriver was followed by a day on the beach, a corn boil and dinner and a pleasant evening of rafting together offshore. This has become a family affair so bring the kids, pack your dinner and hibachi and meet us at the Club for a 14:30 departure.
LOCATION: The beach is located on the North East side of Carillon Island . As usual, we promise to leave the beach cleaner than when we arrived ............... so, everyone, please pitch in.
